Very well thought out and quick to play. I have been looking for a good golf game that has a fun solo mode and this is it!" / Bradley W. "What a great bunch of engineering. The stroke is cool. The clubs play true. As does the wind. Only sad part is nobody seems to know it exists. If you play golf in real life you'll enjoy this expressly for the controls and purity of play..." / Drew D. "Best golf game out there! It's the only not to be pay to win trash. No micro transaction, just courses to buy. No chests to unblock. Also more realistic, you can choose the clubs and you don't magically know where it will land, and you also don't play a stupid timing game to play. Just feels like golf. Kudos on making this game." / Tiago S. "Lots of fun and as challenging to play as actual golf. I'm enjoying the simplicity and colors of the polygon graphics..." / Richard D. "Brilliant game, probably the closest game to a simulation. No pay to win aspects and really bright future for mobile golf games" / Daniel D. +++ Get in touch +++ Discord: https://discord.gg/3NHxcTdT5B Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/golfdreamsofficial
First Not Last
Read full descriptionHide full description
First Not Last is sailboat racing as it's done on the water: umpired match races and team races, where the wind, the right-of-way rules and a good start decide who wins. LEARN TO SAIL New to sailing? Seven short lessons, a minute or two each, and no account needed: steering, reading the wind, the fastest angles upwind and downwind, slowing down, penalty turns, match-race starts and match-race penalties. SAIL IT FOR REAL • Hold ◀ or ▶ to steer and hold the boat button to slow down. The sails trim themselves, so it all comes down to where you point. • Boat speed depends on your angle to the wind. Find the best VMG upwind and downwind, then tack and gybe on the shifts. • The breeze shifts, and gusts show as dark patches on the water. • Every sail casts a wind shadow. Sit in another boat's dirty air and you slow down. RACE BY THE RULES • Right of way, room at the marks and starting early are all judged on the water. • Foul another boat and you owe a penalty turn. Leave it too long and you're disqualified. • Match races come with umpire flags and match-race penalties, as in real umpired racing. RACE REAL PEOPLE • Unranked matchmaking for 1v1 match races and 2v2 or 3v3 team races. • Add friends, invite them to your lobby and race on the same team. • Custom races: public or password-protected, with a windward-leeward or Digital N course, match or team racing rules, and up to four boats a side. • Your nationality flag shows next to your name. • Report or block any sailor in a tap. Players must be 18 or older. SAIL ALONE Free Sail to practise boat handling, or Solo Practice for a full race on your own: countdown, start line, marks and finish. FIRST NOT LAST PREMIUM An optional monthly subscription: wind shadows drawn on the water, a Best VMG button, laylines, custom races, a daily gift and twice the coins for every win. Everything else is free. • First Not Last Premium: €0.99 per month, auto-renewing. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the period. • Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple ID account settings.
